SHANGHAI - Axalta Coating Systems announced that China’s freight and transportation operator Hoau Group has appointed Axalta as the exclusive supplier for its corporate rebranding program to re-paint Hoau’s fleet of heavy duty trucks. Axalta’s Nason^® refinish systems will be used to re-spray the trucks.

Founded in 1995, Hoau Group is a leading freight and transportation company in China. The company has 54 transit hubs and 1,500 commercial networks in over 600 cities across China.

After several rounds of testing, Hoau chose Axalta’s Nason refinish systems to re-spray all its trucks with its new brand image.
